Planet of the Apes #3

In the climactic third chapter of "The Human War," the fate of all sentient life on the Planet of the Apes hangs in the balance as Shiva’s ape army unleashes nuclear terror against the fragile alliance of humans and apes. With the wreckage of the spaceship Oberon holding the key to survival, Attar—once a revered general, now a reluctant observer—grapples with the chilling possibility that Shiva’s rage may consume even her own kind. Written by Ian Edginton and brought to life by Adrian Sibar’s dynamic art, with inks by Christopher Ivy and Norman Lee, this 2001 Dark Horse finale delivers high-stakes tension and moral weight. The cover, a striking piece by J. Scott Campbell, captures the desperation and scale of the conflict.
